Corporate sponsors are great to have(and we are thankful for them), but they aren't the only way teams raise money to register for events. A lot of teams work hard to put together fundraisers and raise the money the old fashioned way. Relying on corporate sponsors to pay for everything isn't always the right way to approach this question. The way to approach it is like this, what can OUR TEAM do to fundraise the money for additional events? I guarantee you that the teams who do go to multiple events put in a lot of hard work to get there. I am not lecturing or scolding, that is not my intent. I am just trying to make a point. If I seem like I am coming off harshly, I apologize. I am only trying to say that maybe you could look beyond corporate sponsors and try some team fundraisers, you would be surprised how much money you could raise. Twas' just a thought...

GO 1403!!!
